I am surprised I didn't update earlier. Sorry, I have exams all month and stress is getting to me. ;( Tell me how your day is in the reviews. I really wanna know. Or tell me something interesting going on in your life or if you are like me, stressed and busy. Just let me know! -Bex

And by the way, I've missed writing in Caitlyn's POV... :)


Caitlyn's POV:

I looked down at my hands as the silence crept up. "Mom, you alright?" Kristyn asked, softly. Nate rubbed my back and I looked up at her. Something was showing in her eyes but I could quite put my finger on it. I nodded.

"Why did you tell us now?" Scarlett asked.

"Scar, she probably had her reasons." Kristyn said. Matthew nodded and sat in front of me. He raised his hand hesitantly and rested it on my cheek.

"Uh, I'm sorry..." He said, quickly glancing at Kristyn. I raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Yeah, it's ok... really, I've dealt with the pan ages ago. Forgotten about it, etc." I got up and turned to Kristyn. "Can we have a chat?" I said. She looked shocked and stood up, following me upstairs to her bedroom.

"Huh, what's up, Mom?" She asked. I sighed and took her hand gently.

"Is there something you want to tell me, without the presence of your father?" I asked, carefully. She burrowed her brows and shrugged.

"Nope. Nothing. Nada. I am good. Are you good? Great, we're all good. Let's go get some takeout now." She got up and I pulled her back down on her bed.

"Kristyn Raquel Anastasia Gray, what's wrong with you?" I whispered. She turned to the side and sobbed quietly. "What's made you so broken and hurt, baby?" I asked, playing with her hair. She shrugged and shook her head.

"I guess I know now that you went through what I did." She whispered. I stared at her confused until is dawned on me.

"No..." I said, taking my hand back. She turned to me, mascara down her cheeks.

"Mommy, I swear I never meant for it to happen. Don't tell Dad. He'll be so crushed and heartbroken and then... he... he..." She started sobbing uncontrollably as I sat there and stared at her. Sighing, I rubbed her back and leaned on it.

"It's not your fault. I wont tell your Dad either. It will be our little secret. Who else knows about this?" I asked.

"Just Scarlett and Matthew." She mumbled. I nodded.

"Ok. Who... who did it?" I asked, quietly.

"My ex." She sat up and sighed.

"Eddie?" I asked. She nodded.

"That's the one. He hurt me too. A couple of times. He was doing drugs and he took the anger out on me." She said.

"So you lied about being bullied." I said.

"No exactly. You just assumed so I stuck with that. I didn't want to get him into trouble. We were only 15." She pleaded.

"Kristyn, I want you to press charges. Can you do that?" I asked.

"He'll find out and kill me, Mom. I'm already in deep shit with him, I don't need court cases every month, to send him down, stressing me out." She reasoned. "Eddie's still doing drugs. I'm surprised the paps haven't realised." She said.

"I can keep him away from you, baby. Your Dad-" She cut me off.

"I don't want him involved!" She hissed.

"I was about to say, that your Dad has lawyers, Kristyn Raquel! I wont tell him, I promise. I know how it feels to be in this position. Took me ages to tell my sister and brother, then my Mom." I said.

"Sorry, Mama. I'm just so..." She raised her arms and made an explosion sign.

"I know." I hugged her. "Want to get some Ben and Jerry's ice cream?" I smirked.

"Girls' night?" She smirked back.

"Ohhh yeah!" We high-fived and went back downstairs. "Uh, boys? The girls and I are having a Girls' Night so we are totally unavailable starting now till midnight." I clapped my hands and went into the kitchen, collecting everything sweet, gooey and delicious from the cupboards and fridge.

"Dad! They're raiding our fridge!" Matthew shouted. The girls and I just laughed and went back to taking the sweet stuff out.


Kristyn's POV:

It's been a week since I told my Mom my secret. She kept her promise and never told Dad. It did make us feel a little guilty that we were keeping this away from him, but some things were just better left unsaid. The doorbell rang and I didn't expect my parents to get up from their making out position on the sofa so I rolled my eyes and opened it.

"Hello, how can I help you?" I asked a lady in a pencil skirt and matching suit jacket. She wore the most ugliest glasses on Earth and looked me up and down.

"You're not Caitlyn Gray..." She said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Duh, she's my Mom." I shrugged.

"Oh. Of course. I want to speak with her, immediately. Chop, chop now." I looked at her as if she were crazy.

"MOM! SOME LADY IS AT THE DOOR FREAKING ME OUT!" I called in. The lady looked taken back. Mom appeared next to me and gasped.

"Molly?" I looked between them confused.

"Ah, Caitlyn Alice." She greeted.

"What are you doing here? How did you find me? Why are you here?" Mom rambled.

"Well... ever since I split up with your father, I quit my job and instead became a social worker. I really do wish that I could have helped you, Caitlyn Alice." Molly said. "Anyway, that's not why I am here. May I come in?" I stood back and Mom led her to the living room. I followed and stood near the archway.

"So, why are you here?" Mom asked.

"Well... I found out that your father has another child. Bailey Luna, aged 15 years old." Molly started.

"Pardon? Another child? You're kidding me right? And I thought you wanted nothing to do with him." Mom said.

"Well, since he's back in jail for multiple assaults and attempted murder; yours, she has nowhere to go." Molly said. Wait, what?

"Your dad attempted to kill you?" I asked shocked.

"Baby... sh." Dad warned.

"Well, four attempted murders. Of you, Michelle Gray, Marolina Gray and Kira Staines." Molly corrected herself. "Last week and don't worry Caitlyn Alice, he's behind bars for good. He should have been years ago for rape and abuse but-"

"Shut up!" Mom screamed. "I... I pushed all that behind me for you to just dig it up again? I have a life! A husband, kids! I don't need to be looking over my shoulder in case he would drive a fucking knife in my back, do I?!" Mom was standing up by now and I could tell she was shit deep in distress.

"Ok, forget about that. The fact is, he has a daughter and we need a home for her. I haven't talked about this to your brother, sister or mother but I thought you should know because-"

"You want to guilt trip me." Mom stated. "I don't care about the fact that Jacob has a daughter that none of us knew about. He was out of our lives till now. Why now? Why when I've just got my life back on track?! I already have children to worry and care about, I don't need another person to feed. For goodness sake, I'm pregnant and now everyone decides to dump all this shit on me!" My jaw fucking dropped to the floor.

"Hold up. You're..." Mom's eyes widened as she turned to me.

"We were going to tell you all this week..." Dad said. I smiled a little.

"Well... Congratulations. I have been begging for another sibling but maybe the way I found out wasn't... you know, ideal." We laughed a little and went back to the matter at hand. "Maybe we should take Bailey Luna in." I suggested. Mom and Dad looked at me. "I mean, Aunt Cornelia and Uncle Tim always have honeymoons now that their kids are all grown up and Uncle Jesse is ill and Grandma Becky is officially super busy nowadays. So.."

"But, we're busy." Dad pointed out.

"Guys... You're expecting your fourth child. And I am 17 so I am practically at home. Yeah, you guys work part-time nowadays. Don't think I haven't noticed!" I smirked.

"But the label-" Mom started.

"Is owned by you so you can choose when you come and go when you like." I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms, smugly.

"You are one little piece of work, lil' Kris." Dad smiled.

"So, are you thinking of adopting Bailey Luna?" Molly asked.

"Why not?" Mom smiled.


Two months had gone by and everyone knew that the Gray family was expanding again. We have our own reality TV show on E! Called, 'Living the Gray Life'. So basically everything in our fucked up lives has been broadcasted onto TV so nobody can try to get the 'juice' on us. The celebrity gossip shows and sites went crazy when they found out Mom was adopting her little sister Bailey Luna. Her family were shocked but then grew warm to the situation.

Today, the cameras were off. We had a big family dinner to welcome Bailey Luna to the family at our usual restaurant. I hadn't met her but Mom and Dad had throughout the months.

The door opened and a 15 year old brunette came in. She had green eyes and freckles. She looked kinda pretty and I was kinda jealous. Well, she was my fucking aunt, why was I jealous? She smiled shyly as Mom introduced us.

"And this is my youngest daughter, Kristyn Raquel. Baby, meet Bailey Luna." She said.

"Sup. Nice to meet you, Aunt Bailey Luna." I said. She blushed and I smirked.

"Don't mind her, she likes terrorizing people, sis." Mom said casually.

"Hi." Her voice was husky and feminine. She looked to the side and put her hair behind her ear. I decided to play nice seeing that we're sharing a house for the next year. I'm moving out as soon as GC4's tour ends.

"I am going to hang out with my cousins, wanna join?" She smiled and nodded. "Ok." I walked to the other three members of GC4 and Fletcher and smiled. "This is my aunt, Bailey Luna."

"Hi! I'm Peyton, that's Amber my sister, that's Dylan our other cousin and this is my brother Fletcher." Peyton introduced. "I guess we're you're 'nieces' and 'nephew'." She grinned.

"Bubbly." I whispered to my aunt. She giggled. Her laugh was contagious as we all started laughing. I guess things we're heading for a brighter path. I asked everyone what drinks they wanted and went to get them. While I was getting the drinks, I bumped into Rusty. "Oh, hey Rusty!" I said.

"Oh, hey Kristyn." He smirked at me. Dad came over to me.

"Your cousins and aunt were wondering where you are. Oh, who's this?" Dad asked, looking at Rusty.

"Uh..." I sighed. "My boyfriend." I confessed.


What's going to happen? Review what you think!

I am so sorry I didn't update earlier. Anyways, I want you all to take this poll I posted up on my profile. It's about what stories I should focus on. It's entirely up to you because I have been shit deep in stress in trying to update certain stories and everything but I am truly sorry even though and the beginning of the month I promised that I will update all stories this year. Some have to end after a certain amount of chapters but don't worry, this story would end at 30 chapters just like the one before. But thanks for all the support and I bid you a good day. Or night.
